A flight attendant has shared one of the biggest issues plane passengers argue about – and she claims to experience the exact same fallout ‘without fail’ on every flight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lucy Wilson, from Arundel, West Sussex, currently works as cabin crew for Virgin Atlantic<\/a>, and regularly shares lighthearted content about her role on TikTok<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a recent video <\/a>posted to her page, @lucywilsonnx, she revealed a ‘controversial’ seating preference is often the root cause of heated disagreements at 35,000 feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the flight attendant, passengers are most likely to row over seat reclining.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She asked her followers: ‘I want to get your opinion on something very controversial. Are you a seat recliner or are you not?’<\/p>\n

Lucy continued: ‘Now, every flight I do, without fail there will be someone arguing about someone in front of them reclining their seats.’<\/p>\n

She explained she was curious to understand a passenger’s point of view, as cabin crew are normally indifferent to the matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The flight attendant said: ‘From a crew perspective, it’s very different. We just say to passengers, “Pop your seats up for meal service,” but other than that, you’re free to do whatever you want.’<\/p>\n

In a recent video posted to her page, @lucywilsonnx, Lucy revealed a ‘controversial’ seating preference is often the root cause of heated disagreements at 35,000 feet: seat reclining\u00a0<\/p>\n

She noted that if all passengers were to recline their seats, especially during long-haul or night flights,\u00a0 it would result in ‘everyone getting the same amount of space.’<\/p>\n

In the comments, viewers agreed with Lucy’s outlook on reclining seats, as shared, ‘Get that seat back,’ while another wrote, ‘Get those seats reclined!!!’<\/p>\n

It comes as a\u00a0flight attendant has shared two forms of common passenger behaviour that ‘send her over the edge’ <\/a>when she’s having a particularly ‘bad day.’<\/p>\n

Dallas-based air hostess Cher Killough, who has worked in the industry for six years, recently took to TikTok to highlight disruptive in-flight habits that often leave her ‘clenching’ her jaw.<\/p>\n

Sharing a video to her page, @cherdallas, the cabin crew noted she becomes frustrated when a passenger ignores crucial safety instructions because a previous flight attendant either turned a blind eye or allowed them to do so.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She added: ‘Well, the last flight attendant wasn’t doing her job. I have to subtly argue and just explain the reason – which normally I’m fine with doing – but if I’m already having a long day, this will have me in the galley begging God for some strength.’<\/p>\n

Cher then revealed her second in-flight gripe: passengers who continue to ‘pop open’ the bins after she informed them ‘several times’ they are full and cannot be used.<\/p>\n

She explained: ‘When the bins are full and I’ve closed it, somebody pops it open after I’ve said: “If it’s closed, it’s full,” like seven times… they pop it open and they leave it open.’<\/p>\n
